on furlough in Texas in 2010
Mark and Donna McDonnel are missionaries with WorldVenture in Kyiv, Ukraine. We are originally from Texas but we now feel like our home is in Kyiv where the Lord has directed our hearts and lives. Our oldest daughter Anna is currently a college student and living in the U.S.
Our mission here is described on our prayer letters: Through teaching, discipleship and evangelism, we are training Ukrainian believers to be grounded in the Word of God, and able to make disciples and grow churches in Ukraine and beyond (Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Timothy 2:2). In addition to working at the Kiev Seminary, it is our privilege to work in our church’s handicapped ministry. We consider this an important ministry and dear to the heart of God. Life can sometimes be difficult in Ukraine, and it is doubly so for those with disabilities.
nice family picture!
I just tried to submit a comment on Donna’s page, but then WordPress said there was an Error. =(
I told Donna that I, too, love Understood Betsy!!!!!
Ialso mentioned that soon I’ll be going to Philly with my brother Mark and his wife Ruth and their two little girls, Tany & Sveta, 8 and 7 y.o. who they adopted in April from St. Petersburg. =) They’re beautiful and playful, energetic children!!!!
I hope this one gets sent to you.
Love and prayers,
linda
I will be in Ukraine a bit later this summer. I would like to meet with you, if possible, to discuss your disability ministry. Our organization, Mark 2 Ministries, also has a disability ministry in Ukraine (Zhytomyr). Email me if you get this…
thanks

Okay, Mommy and Daddy, I love you, but we need a new picture of us

Yay, we now have a current picture! I’m sorry Mommy, if I sounded demanding – I’m amazed at all you do to keep up with these sites, as well as “Donna’s Takes”…good job and well done; it looks great!
